Not we, the congressional GOP and the voters who put them there. Elections have consequences.

The point, of course. I live in a very diverse neighborhood in the Twin Cities and I'm worried about my neighbors and my son's friends at school. Disgusting behavior from a US president. I miss the days when people at least pretended that character mattered.

Looks like "economic anxiety" to me

Maybe most people, especially women, just don't want to have more than a couple of kids! Pregnancy, childbirth and parenting are hard, even with lots of resources and generous social policies. I have 2 kids and I would have been open to a third (spouse was good with 2) but no way would I go for 4.

I could do xyz for this initiative or I could walk into the woods and never return. Tough choice!

I'm so glad we now have the tech to just be a brain in a jar! I personally can't see any downside to this! /s

On second thought, maybe a little bit of friction was good

I hope you are right

Regardless, he has always been wildly, laughably, OBVIOUSLY unfit to be POTUS and this is exhibit 954678, or somethibg like that. I've lost count.

The charitable interpretation is that he was saying that Iran would blow up 2 US cities if we didn't go to war, so high gas prices are preferable to that. Nevertheless, the clapping seals behind him were cheering on the destruction of "blue" cities bc they are pieces of shit. "Deplorable" was right.

Correct. The Sith are never going to go away and stop trying to take over the galaxy. So, we don't stop fighting, either. Democracy requires eternal vigilance. I wish it weren't so but it is.

"Deplorable" was too kind

He's treated like clown POTUS and not like he's actually the real POTUS with the vast power of the office. It's absurd and I don't get why that is. We are in great danger.

Exactly and it's bleak AF.

My local library has Read to an Animal once or twice a month! They rotate between cats and dogs. My kids love it.

Thank you! I've been saying this for a decade. THIS FUCKING GUY?!?

Correct. I get why people want to think they are being blackmailed but no, they just suck.

There are so many vile characters now that I frequently forget some exist. Jim Jordan is one that I forget about until I'm reminded from time to time that he is still serving in Congress. For shame Ohio!

Anyway, I shouldn't have had kids. We are all fucked.

Erin E. Worrel 👻 @erinerex.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Yeah, we're fucked. I don't know how humans have ever managed to accomplish some semblance of democracy & human rights at all.

Prediction: this is exactly how it will be because humans are stupid, fickle creatures and too many of us want at least a little bit of bigotry & cruelty as a treat. It's not just American voters, either. See Brazil as the example du jour.

Erin E. Worrel 👻 @erinerex.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Yeah, it's likely only temporary. Voters will usher authoritarians back into power a few years later. See the US and Brazil.

Erin E. Worrel 👻 @erinerex.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Yeah, we are all so fucked. Each passing day makes my choice to have kids and keep living look more and more stupid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On October 3rd, he asked me what day it is

Erin E. Worrel 👻 @erinerex.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I'm so mad about it every single day. And it's my own demographic, white Americans, who are doing it. They chose to destroy the country.

Great job voters! Enjoy your sicker, poorer and shorter lives! I hope its worth it!

I think about this every day and there aren't words to describe my anger. I would say more but my lawyer says don't post it on BlueSky.

It's a good thing he doesn't control a nuclear arsenal! In all seriousness, way too many of us act like he's just a clown and not, you know, the actual POTUS w/ the immense power of the office. We're in great danger!!

Erin E. Worrel 👻 @erinerex.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I'm never going to stop being mad that 77.3 million people voted for him in 2024 and the complete abdication of duty of every institution that was supposed to protect us.

I love when authors narrate their own books.

Ah, well at least he doesn't control a nuclear arsenal or anything like that.

Also I highly recommend Elie Mystal's Allow Me To Retort. IIRC he outlines different options that are within the bounds of the Constitution.

I love this for him

Oh he says that, does he? I forgot that you are just stenographers and not journalists. Too bad!
